The official 2010 Solo discussion thread! - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

Kevin M · 2010-01-11, 09:30 PM

Just FYI, while all the important Club Chief and Board positions are filled, there's still plenty of room for more volunteers at events and at the monthly meetings. I'd liek to get feedback from you guys who might come out on season passes here- http://www.renoscca.org/forums/showthread.php?t=693

Any other suggestions to improve the autocross experience for us all are more than welcome.

Now to the fun part- who is driving what? We all know MattR is going to show up in some sort of SuperTruck. Dean should be back out in his STi in TSM, and I will be selling the coupe at some point and running the little red wagon is TSM- without a turbo. Should be interesting.

van · 2010-01-11, 10:20 PM

I just started car shopping, If nothing comes of it I'll be bask in SU.

szucchet · 2010-01-12, 06:27 AM

ill be running 255s star specs and i think ill be moving to bsp (not sure if the sti still falls in bsp since new rules for 10')

MPREZIV · 2010-01-12, 08:11 AM

Same car, but probably with rear swaybar endlinks disconnected and zip-tied up out of the way, hopefully making the car drive-able on Stead's surface...

MikeK · 2010-01-12, 09:38 AM

TSM, but probably only a handful of events.

Silvio, do you have to roll your fenders to go that wide? Do you have an 04 or 05?

cody · 2010-01-12, 09:53 AM

Wes asked me if I'd be Chief of Waivers and I agreed. Sounds easy as long as I can find someobody to cover me the days I can't make it.

Same setup. I still have some meat left on the RE01R's but they won't last more than a couple events and then I'm going to try to cram 245" wide StarSpecs on there.

Anyone gonna come play in ESP this year???

no my fenders haven't been touch, they fit with no rubbing. i am a stock height on 45 offset, I think if I dropped my car a little it would rub.
the car is an 04

Dean · 2010-01-14, 07:21 AM

I hope to have the STI running. TSM on old 615s.

A1337STI · 2010-01-14, 07:28 PM

no damn clue, Probably BS, and maybe i'll take the rally car out a few times if it looks like i won't be able to attent enough events.

Can we not schedule events on weekends i have rallies ?

Mar 13-14
Apr 17
June 4-5
July 15-17
Aug 28
Oct 1-2
Dec 3-5

What's that? those are the only weekends we are doing AutoX this year ?

watch ... i bet i have at least 3 weekends of over lap due to rally, and probably an other 3 due to rallyX ...

If only there were more AutoX / Rally cross over drivers...

I need to figure out what to do to my sti to fix my eats lots of oil problem. I'm tempting to ignore it for longer and put some new struts on the car. Ohlins or subaru Pinks as those are my only BS legal options...

slight chance i might use my legacy 2.2 block with my sti heads and deal with what ever class that puts me in , probably would buy some Rally coil overs at that point and go back to a stock front sway bar... car would be less competitive than it is now, but more fun in the dirt... which its already a ton of fun in...

hmmf

Kevin M · 2010-01-14, 08:31 PM

Unfortunately between working around holidays, major events in Reno (Rodeo, HAN, Air Races, Street Vibrations, etc.) and Sac chapter's schedule, there are only like 3 empty weekends between the first weekend and last.

Rach already has an offer to drive F125 with the Burns', who may go to nationals this year. If all of that happens, my class may end up being 'chaperone'.

No fernley this season

I really liked it out there. Granted, it sucked when you had people mowing over a ton of cones and having to run 1/4mi to pick them up. I didn't make it to the last event out there where that was supposed to have been fixed with more corner workers.

Any update on Fernley raceway??

Kevin M · 2010-02-08, 03:48 PM

The schedule has been confirmed for Stead events this year. The only question marks left are the events for August and September, which still need venues.

szucchet · 2010-03-13, 01:27 PM

bump, there seems to be alot of questions about Auto-x so ask here.

I am going to Auto-X in mather airport on sunday 21, anybody interested?

anything new with anybodies auto-x setup?

Kevin M · 2010-03-13, 05:34 PM

I am hoping to make it, in Nina's Mazda. Hopefully she's willing to go too.

cody · 2010-03-15, 08:44 AM

I bought Nick P's 5Zigen 17X8 wheels this weekend. Anybody know of any deals coming up on 245/40/17 Starspecs? Looks like I missed a $50 rebate window by a little over a month.

Yellow with bronze wheels?

After all the debate!

. Are you going to get green numbers this year?

Kevin M · 2010-03-15, 09:31 AM

Purple would be more appropriate.

cody · 2010-03-15, 09:38 AM

LOL, I'm lazy. I don't really feel like painting them so you will just have to squint when looking my direction.

sybir · 2010-03-15, 01:05 PM

Bronze on yellow looks awesome, ignore anyone who says different.

cody · 2010-03-15, 01:24 PM

Ignoring myself. Check.

They'll definitely look better than Gold on yellow...or purple on orange...so that's something right?

I agree, my comment was based on Cody's previous debate thread on the colors.
